Field Notes

Habitat:

grassy with lots of wild flowers and scattered trees.

Notes:

Sitting on a pallet consuming a Dandelion flower [Taraxacum]. Second picture shows another flower, on the same pallet, that had been consumed. Every tree stump and large rock in the landscape has piles of these chewed up flowers on them.
